The Diff Match and Patch libraries offer robust algorithms to perform the operations required for synchronizing plain
text:

* computes character-based diff of two texts
* performs fuzzy match of given string
* applies a list of patches.

This is the port of Google's [diff-match-patch](https://github.com/google/diff-match-patch) library to PHP.

## Diff

Compare two plain text and efficiently return a array of differences. It works with characters, but if you want
to compute word-based or line-based diff — you can easily
[tune](https://web.archive.org/web/20160110201643/https://code.google.com/p/google-diff-match-patch/wiki/LineOrWordDiffs)
it for your needs.

Usage:
```php
diff_main($text1, $text2, false);
var_dump($diffs);
```
Returns:
```php
array(
array(DiffMatchPatch::DIFF_EQUAL, "Th"),
array(DiffMatchPatch::DIFF_DELETE, "e"),
array(DiffMatchPatch::DIFF_INSERT, "at"),
array(DiffMatchPatch::DIFF_EQUAL, " quick brown fox jump"),
array(DiffMatchPatch::DIFF_DELETE, "s"),
array(DiffMatchPatch::DIFF_INSERT, "ed"),
array(DiffMatchPatch::DIFF_EQUAL, " over "),
array(DiffMatchPatch::DIFF_DELETE, "the"),
array(DiffMatchPatch::DIFF_INSERT, "a"),
array(DiffMatchPatch::DIFF_EQUAL, " lazy dog."),
)
```

## Match

Given a search string, find its best fuzzy match in a plain text near the given location. Weighted for both accuracy
and location.

Usage:
```php
match_main($text, "fox", 0); // Returns 16
$pos = $dmp->match_main($text, "fox", 40); // Returns 40
$pos = $dmp->match_main($text, "jmps"); // Returns 20
$pos = $dmp->match_main($text, "jmped"); // Returns -1
$pos = $dmp->Match_Threshold = 0.7;
$pos = $dmp->match_main($text, "jmped"); // Returns 20
```

[Demo](http://neil.fraser.name/software/diff_match_patch/svn/trunk/demos/demo_diff.html)

## Patch

Apply a list of patches in
[Unidiff-like format](https://web.archive.org/web/20161002083301/https://code.google.com/p/google-diff-match-patch/wiki/Unidiff)
onto plain text. Use best-effort to apply patch even when the underlying text doesn't match.

Usage:
```php
patch_make("The quick brown fox jumps over the lazy dog.", "That quick brown fox jumped over a lazy dog.");
// @@ -1,11 +1,12 @@
// Th
// -e
// +at
// quick b
// @@ -22,18 +22,17 @@
// jump
// -s
// +ed
// over
// -the
// +a
// laz
$result = $dmp->patch_apply($patches, "The quick red rabbit jumps over the tired tiger.");
var_dump($result);
```
Returns:
```php
array(
"That quick red rabbit jumped over a tired tiger.",
array (
true,
true,
),
);
```

## API

Currently this library available in:
* PHP
* [C++](https://github.com/google/diff-match-patch/wiki/Language:-Cpp)
* [C#](https://github.com/google/diff-match-patch/wiki/Language:-C%23)
* [Dart](https://github.com/google/diff-match-patch/wiki/Language:-Dart)
* [Java](https://github.com/google/diff-match-patch/wiki/Language:-Java)
* [JavaScript](https://github.com/google/diff-match-patch/wiki/Language:-JavaScript)
* [Lua](https://github.com/google/diff-match-patch/wiki/Language:-Lua)
* [Objective-C](https://github.com/google/diff-match-patch/wiki/Language:-Objective-C)
* [Python](https://github.com/google/diff-match-patch/wiki/Language:-Python)

Regardless of language, each library uses the same
[API](https://web.archive.org/web/20160922004754/https://code.google.com/p/google-diff-match-patch/wiki/API)
and the same functionality.

## Algorithms

This library implements [Myer's diff algorithm](http://neil.fraser.name/software/diff_match_patch/myers.pdf) which is
generally considered to be the best general-purpose diff. A layer of
[pre-diff speedups and post-diff cleanups](http://neil.fraser.name/writing/diff/) surround the diff algorithm, improving
both performance and output quality.

This library also implements a [Bitap matching algorithm](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bitap_algorithm) at the heart
of a flexible [matching and patching strategy](http://neil.fraser.name/writing/patch/).

## Requirements

* PHP 7.3+
